The California Solar & Storage Association (CALSSA) announced the band lineup for Solar Battle of the Bands (SBOB), the industry’s well-loved solar music competition. Following a four-year hiatus, SBOB will return on Wednesday, February 26 as part of co-host Intersolar & Energy Storage North America (IESNA)’s Official After Party. The event will be held at Moonshine Flats — a short walk from the San Diego Convention Center where the IESNA tradeshow and conference will be held February 25-27.
This year’s band lineup is:
- “The Lagging Indicators” featuring band members from New Leaf Energy
- “Cosmic IX” featuring band members from PearlX plus special guests
- “Café Negro“ featuring band members from Avila Solar
- “Northerner” featuring band members from SnapNrack & K2 Systems plus special guests
“We are all so excited to be getting the band back together and are ready to rock,” said Johan Alfsen of SnapNrack, who founded SBOB in 2011. “The solar coaster has been on a bumpy ride and the very talented people that make up the solar industry are what keep us all pushing forward. It’s going to be a magical reunion to bring Solar Battle of the Bands back to the stage!”
The event is sponsored by: Greentech Renewables, REC Americas, PearlX, K2 Systems, Mission Solar Energy, and Sunnova.
IESNA’s Official After Party begins at 6 p.m. with a dedicated networking mixer, including hors d’oeuvres and drinks. The first band will perform at 8 p.m. The event ends at 11 p.m. sharp. Tickets are required to attend. More info here.
